Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 3°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set, off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,967 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,967 m of the 3,312 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 778 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,208 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Diegem in Flanders, Belgium. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 97 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,179 feet above sea level to 32,734 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,554 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead the town of Consdorf in the Canton d'Echternach, Luxembourg. This phase lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 238 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead the town of Pfunds in Tirol, Austria. The descent took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 74 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,354 feet above sea level to 9,302 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,053 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of the town of Vallarsa in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead the town of Villaverla in Veneto, Italy. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 9,303 feet above sea level to 2,612 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,691 feet.
The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, starting 1 mile northeast of the town of Cartura in Veneto, Italy. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, approaching from the southwest at a heading of 37.0° and at an altitude of 908 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 04R, which had a length of 3,312 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was above the target speed at 167 knots. The touchdown point was 365 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 151 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -274 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,889 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 484 nautical miles, and the flight took 73 minutes. The aircraft used 3,615 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport, with a score of 88.7%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 37.0° at 4 nautical miles and 908 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 04R, which has a length of 3,312 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was significantly above the target speed of 167 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or the pilots may have been unable to maintain the optimal approach speed. The touchdown point was located 365 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilots may have been unable to accurately judge the distance to the runway.
The touchdown speed of 151 knots was slightly faster than the optimal speed, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -274 feet per minute (fpm). However, the touchdown rate could have been improved with a more precise control of the aircraft's descent.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 0°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 3 knots, which suggests that the pilots had to contend with a slight wind shear during the approach.
The total landing distance was 1,889 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, but the pilots may have been able to improve the landing distance with a more precise control of the aircraft's descent and alignment.
During the rollout, the aircraft was slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline, which suggests that the pilots may have been unable to maintain a precise alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement in terms of approach speed, touchdown speed, and alignment.
